Why American Adios Series?

The knight in this chess set has been dedicated to racing horse Adois, who was multiple world champion during his racing career. Born in 1940, Adois is the most well known horse in the history of harness racing. Apart from the races won, Adios was more famous for siring champion harness racing horses. His pedigree won Eight Little Brown Jugs and Two Triple Crowns of Harness Racing for Pacers. A race, a golf club, a course and a book, Adios: The Big Daddy of Harness Racing were name after this world famous horse.

This is the sixth (6th) set of chess pieces I have purchased from Chess Bazaar to date. These are very nice chess pieces. I really like the American Adios Series Luxury Chess Set in Bud Rose / Box Wood - 4.4" King . Very stylish, indeed. The Bud Rose Wood pieces are rich in both color and style and each piece is nice and beautiful. The Knights are well designed. The Rooks and Bishops are beautiful and the Pawns are also nice n weight and balance. The King and Queens are also very attractive. I am again impressed with the quality of these chess pieces.

As always, the service and sales team were outstanding. Chess Bazaar is very good about making good on their promises to provide the best service possible. It does not matter if an issue arises with a damaged piece (two Rooks were broken when the package arrived in my home), or a shipping issue or a customs issue. Chess Bazaar is always there willing and eager to help. I plan on buying at least one more 60mm square board and another luxury set from Chess Bazaar soon. Keep those great promotions and deals coming! Thanks!

I do think Chess Bazaar could be even better if they improved the pre-shipping quality control. In this shipment, the pieces were covered in styrofoam, but that packing technique was not good enough to prevent the tops of the elegant Rooks from breaking as they moved about in transit. It's not correct to place the blame on "improper handling" during transit, as it was easy to see in this shipment that the pieces were too loosely packed to avoid damage in transit. If there is anything about Chess Bazaar which is causing me concern it is the high percentage of damaged good from problems related to packing and shipping. On the other hand, CB is quick to replace the broken pieces; but the packing service could be better.
